I’d recommend dropping a line to Riptide to find out exactly what their royalty rates might be as well as what they grant in terms of rights before you go all dewy-eyed and start hammering away on your lesbian space ninja dragon warriors novel for them. If you dig their terms, well, hey. Go for it!

And how about this one, also courtesy of QLIT: G/L ROCK STARS! Less Than Three Press is looking for bad boy/bad girl stories for serial anthologies. “This collection is centered around the theme of rockstars. All stories must have a strong tie to this theme. Any sub-genre is gladly accepted: sci-fi, mystery, contemporary, steampunk, etc.”

What you get: “Payment will be $200 on acceptance of the story and 5% of gross subscription sales while your story is in the serial rotation. Authors will receive one copy each of the ebook formats LT3 produces and two copies of the paperback compilation.”

Deadline: SEPTEMBER 30, 2012. Go see what the specific guidelines are and get rockin’, get writin’!

That there is a taste of what QLIT offers for writers. And readers, go have a look, too. You might find a new publisher whose books you want to try out.

About Andi Marquette

Andi Marquette once wanted to be a seafaring pirate. But she realized that could be a problem, growing up in the Rocky Mountain West and Southwest. So she became an editor, anthropologist, and historian instead. But that, too, didn't satisfy her weird cravings for stories and strange realms. Now, she's a writer ensconced in Colorado and when she wants to go pirate-ing, she just makes something up.

Winter weirdness continues. Have a bad feeling we'll be seeing a hell of a lot more of crappy weather. #climatecrazy4 hours ago
